2.2 | Adjusting the Antennas
The antennas on the SMC2455W can be adjusted for best radio
reception. Start with the antennas pointing straight up, and
adjust each antenna if wireless reception is poor. Certain areas,
such as directly below the antennas, get relatively poor recep-
tion. Pointing the antennas toward another wireless component
does not improve reception.
Important: Enable wireless security Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) to protect your network from unwanted
access. For more information, see section 6 for
instructions on how to configure WEP on the SMC2455W.
